How to block PR creation with no release strategy

Hi,
We have this PR release strategy implemented. Currrently, user are able to create the PR even there's no release strategy determined. Thus, PO can be created as the processing state is "02 Active".
Would like to block user from creating the PR if there's no release strategy determined. How should we do in order to achieve this?
Many thanks in advance.
Sue

Hi Sue
Assuming that you are using release with classification.
Create a new characteristic for PR document type (CT04)
Attach this characteristic to your Class (CL02)
Create new release strategy and in Characteristic data you will have to assign all your PR document type. This will ensure that all the PRs need to be released.

How to block the creation of a Sales Orders without a linked Purchase Order

Hi. I'm trying to block the creation of a Sales Order that doesn't have a linked Purchase Order. The first thing I did is using the SBO Transaction Notification as follows:
IF @transaction_type = 'A' AND @object_type='17'
BEGIN
     IF (SELECT PoPrss FROM ORDR WHERE DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del) = 'N'
     BEGIN
          SET @error = 1
          SET @error_message = 'Purchase Order Missing...'
     END
END
This works good. I create the Sales Order, I tick the purchase order field on the logistics tab, I click Add, and then the purchase order window appears...
Then, the problem begins... If I click the Cancel button, the purchase order is obviously not created, but the Sales Order is created.
Can someone tell me how to block the creation of the sales order If the user press the cancel button on the purchase order window (and the purchase order is not created)
As far as I can see, after clicking the add button in the sales order document, the Sales Order is created on the DB. If there's no way of blocking the creation of the Sales Order, can I avoid closing the purchase order window by the SBO_TransactionNotification? (if the purchase order has not been created)
Thanks...

Hi Yail,
I think you can't close the purchase order with the stored procedure.
Try to catch the Event when the user click on Cancel button.
So you can list the vents with event logger : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ede3be37-0e01-0010-1883-cd1b5293473e
You can block the cancel button and force the user to create the purchase order.
Hope i help you
Best regards

Issue with PO Release strategy

Hi experts,
I have problem with Po release strategy in 5 to 10 purchase orders, i have created few purchase orders(2000 Po's) with same document type and company code ..etc and saved, then release strategy has been triggered.
For few purhcase orders release strategy has not been triggered.
If i take 1 po from that few purchase orders(Release strategy has not triggered) as reference and again if i create PO,new purchase order have getting created with release strategy.
Can some body tel how this ican be possible, hope this might be standard syatem behaviour.
Hope i should delete thos e purchase orders and i should create new PO's instead of of old PO's (Without release strategy).
Some experts can share their experiance in this regard.
And how i should proceed further with this issue.??
Thanks

Hi,
You issue in your system has 2000Nou2019s purchase orders with release strategy has been triggered but 5 to 10 purchase orders do have release strategy.
& when you are creating a new PO with reference to old purchase orders (which release strategy has not triggered) and on saving NEW PO created with triggering release strategy.
Cause for above:
PO which release strategy does not trigger because the purchase orders are created before setting release strategy for PO. Those PO triggered release strategy and all are created after setting release strategy for PO.
Action:
Its completely business call for business users to go for options:
Option-- >1# You can use same old PO which release strategy does not triggered, do GR and all other process
Option-- >2# You can create new PO with reference old PO which release strategy does not triggered and upon saving you will have new PO number with release strategy triggered, then release PO & do GR and other related process.

How to block IT Creation in PA30 ??

Hi Everyone!!
I would like to block the creation of an occurrence in Pa30. And authorise the creation only in a measure.
Do you have any idea how can it be achieved?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great day

Hi Quentin,
I assume that you've found the user-exit for PA30. Now the code you can place there is as follows.
*****************Begin of code by Sam********
DATA: GS_PERNR LIKE P9020-PERNR,
      GS_PERNR1 LIKE P9020-PERNR,
      GS_CNT TYPE I.
To check Transaction Code.
IF SY-TCODE = 'PA30' and INNNN-INFTY = '0000'.
MOVE INNNN TO I0000.
To check whether - Creation of new record.
IF IPSYST-IOPER = 'INS'.
To check for user-id.
     IF SY-UNAME <> 'SAMUEL_D' AND SY-UNAME <> 'HRADMIN'.
        MESSAGE E000(ZH) WITH
        'You are not authorized to create a new record'.
     ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
*********END OF CODE**********
Put this code in the user exit for PAI of PA30. It'll work perfectly. In this case, you can also store the user-ids in a ZTABLE and check the same from it rather than hardcoding it in the program.
Hope this helps. Kindly award points if this was helpful for u.
Cheers,
Sam.

Verison Management with PO release strategy - CEKKO-REVNO

Hello,
I'm a bit stuck... I'm trying to do a PO release strategy using version management, were the PO goes through a release strategy if the PO gets changed (not the intial PO creation).. So once the field RENVO is greater then 0, it should go through R.S.
I've read to create a characterstic CEKKO-REVNO and then assign it as a valuet <0... I intital;y created it with a NUM Data type, but the ABAP dictonary overides it with a CHAR instead... So I read to mark the value as a default value (<0)
However, after I add it to my class, I go to the define release strategy - classifcation section (to add the value <0) I'm getting a value inconsistency check.
How do i setup this characterstic so I can use it in release strategy?

Based on adding 00000000 the release strategy will work when its version 0 (intial). However, I'm trying to have it so it goes through a release strategy when the version is 1 or greater...
It seems like I cant get the strategy to work for more then one version... I can get it to work for version 0 but no others, or version 1 and no others etc...
I need to have it some it works for anything greater then zero, in which i tried <0000000 and even >000000
I also tried adding 000001, 000002, 0000003, 0000004 etc.. An although the release strategy tab is still applying, it will NOT result to a blocked status...
I cant get this to work... How should the characterstic value look to get this requirement?

Issue with retriggering Release Strategy

Hi all,
We have a one off situation here. We had already 10 release staragies in our system. We added 2 more release strategies with a new characteristic. We updated the characteristic value only for the new 2 release strategues and did not update the rest 10. Although now we had updated the characteristic value for remaiining strategies, the purchase documents created in the mean tme is not subjected to release strategy. To ensure business control we need to retrigger back the release strategy for almost 1000's of documents.
As any change to purcahsing document will retrigger it when done manually, but given the number of documents and as per Note 493900 we cannot trigger it by any backgoriund job to modify as below:
16. Question :
Why is there no release strategy determination when a program changes in
background a purchasing document which corresponds to the classification of
a release strategy ?
Answer :
This is the system design that a release strategy determination can only be
triggered through a user action and not by changes made in background
process.
If you create a document (e.g. PO, Contract, etc), the determination of the
release strategy takes place only in case of a user event like checking or
saving the document.
Kindly suggest any best practise to retrigger release strategy for the missing documents to ensure business control. Any easy and time savig measure to get it resolved will be appreciated.

Hi Arnand,
After investigation by searching customer messages database ,I found
other customer has similar problem as the release strategy has changed
after creation of the SES please review the explanation from developer
:(whose release code is 03 )
When you try to revoke the acceptance of the service entry sheets
in ML81N or ML81, the 'Enter release code' pop up window appears, but
entering the code that is determined via the menu path Goto -> Entry
Sheet -> Release Strategy (which is the 03), the SES remains the same.
Nothing changes. The status does not vary and no error or warning
message is issued.
Checking the customizing for the release strategy, the release code
03 should have never been assigned to the SES 800024272 as the values
for the relevant characteristics were not included under that code.
I do not know how it was managed to accept the SES.
Now, when you try to revoke it, it seems that no release
strategy can be determined, not even including the values RCARESANO
and 012 between the valid values for the characteristics of the release
code 03 (RCARESANO as valid value for SUPERVISOR_SERVICIOS
(CESSR-ERNAM)and 012 as valid value for GRUPO_COMPRAS (CESSR-EKGRP)).
The only Possibility is to change now the SES so that the release
strategy can be re-determined by the system.This is the Only possible
way that the system can redetermine the Release Strategy , but it will
not be possible to do so as the SES is already accepted with the Old
strategy and it does not admit any further changes.
To be able to change it you would need to revoke the SES first,
but this Will also not be possible as the Release Strategy was changed
and the system still applies the old rules for determining the Release.
Solution to our Problem
The Only way to revoke the SES is to Restore back the Old Strategy that
was prior to 03 in the customizing.So now what will happen is that by
applying the Old Rules the System will be able to revoke the SES that#s
using the Old one. Once the necessary SES are revoked then go back to
customizing and apply the new strategy as it was did now, and
Change the SES and save , the new value of the Release Strategy will get
updated in the table ESSR and the field frgsx will now have 03.
Problems associated if the Release strategy is changed
Actually the release strategy is not supposed to be changed when there
are some documents in the System that uses it and even if you change the
Strategy the Old records will not get AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED by the
system.The Release Strategy routine has to run again to update the
values. This is Possible by changing the document SES ,
This change will happen only if the SES is not accepted and if its
accepted then you need to revoke and to revoke you need to restore the
old strategy , revoke and then change the SES , and have to go back to
customizing and Start using the New strategy from now on by doing so the
Routine will update the old record with the new strategy.
b) You may want to use CEKKO-BADAT(Requisition Date) or any other
structure in CEBAN or CEKKO and create a new release strategy
to differentiate the old release strategy.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Matthew

Problem with my release strategy (PR), Please help

Folks,
I have designed a release strategy with three characteristics:
This is what I entered in characteristic
1.PRQuantity with table name MEREQ3211GRID and Field :MENGE
2.PRmaterial # with table name RMMG1 and Field :MATNR
3.PRPlant with table name RMMG1 and Field :werks
the value for PRQuantity is >= 10000,000.
Also, I have set the indicator for (allow interval) in characteristics
Classes, procedure with classification, Release startegies are all proper.
I am getting the Release startegy tab in PR, but the problem is when I adopt a PR to create a PO with PO quantity >=10000, the release starategy gets picked up, which is perfect but it is also getting picked up with PO Quantity <=10000.
I dont understand why is it getting picked up for <=10000..Please suggest!!
Thanks in advance!!
Megha

Megha,
In your original post you said,
"1.PRQuantity with table name MEREQ3211GRID and Field :MENGE
2.PRmaterial # with table name RMMG1 and Field :MATNR
3.PRPlant with table name RMMG1 and Field :werks"
Per documentation I have seen, the table you should use for your characteristics for PRs should be CEBAN and CEKKO for POs. Here are some links to SAP notes you may find useful.

Neetu,
Hi Neetu,
My Release strategy working fine and nothing wrong with it. My question is, why only NB type is falling for Rel Strategy. I think I found answer from Rosa's Answer. If you check overall release at Document Type, then that document type falls for Release Strategy.
Thanks all. I am closing this with Answered and points goes to Rosa...

No PO Creation without PR release strategy

Hi all,
Is there any way of preventing a user from creating a PR on which no release strategy is applied (i.e. no release strategy exists for that user) and then creating a PO from it?

This is standard functionality of SAP that whenever PR is not subjected to release strategy PO can be created against that PR.
Why do u want to not to create a PO if no release strategy is ther
If ur requirement is like that, u can develope a BADI with logic that, if no release strategy is triggered for PR, then PO can not be created

How to block a visitor with an abnormal behaviour (visiting 50 times/day a website)?

I've developed a website with Adobe Muse. My website is hosted by Business Catalyst. The website displays resources, mostly links to other websites. I don't keep any information about my visitors, there is no registration. I haven't any forum or blog, just a contact form with the BC Captcha (the hardest one to read).
A visitor from Germany, always the same town, is coming on my website periodically. It looks like every half an hour, night and day. The number of visits equals the number of page views.
The Adobe help/support line has no answer about that. I'm not a web designer at all, I don't use HTML programming, just Muse. I'd like to make it stop because this problem is modifying my website analytics. I'm using the visitors geographic location to find sponsors because it's a non-profit project.
Any idea of what is happening? How to fix it?
Many Thanks in advance!
Jackie

Jackie, I am having the same issue and agree that it obscures our site analytics.
I only have the "WebMarketing" subscription - so I cannot see how often people visit my site (unless I just dont know how to view that). Here is a screen shot of how many different locations I have and how much it affects my site visitor count based on the other locations which seem "legit" because they have more page views than visits.
I hope there is a way to fix or block this.
